I am truly ashamed of all the things in life I have taken for granted. I have been so selfish. Even with all I give and share with people, all the time I volunteer, I still have so much more to give. So much more to be greatful for. I love every single one of you out there.
My 31 Year old son was racing motorcycles and crashed rushed to AUB HOSPITAL in Alabama with TBI and fractured elbow no brain no activity for two days then a comma a week later he moved and hasn't stopped since 9 weeks later he's talking walking cutting grass and getting better every day truly a miracle
Brad Beath 7-15-15, I had a motorcycle crash too. An unknown person ran a stop sign, and I hit them. The driver then fled the scene. a witness tried to catch the driver but couldn't. My life has been reset.
@@jamestarrou3685 ive read afew of these stories n watched the trauma of this beautiful boy reason commenting is i also was and is affected with a brain injury . To answer your question from a different lense yeah in some cases a brain injury depending how severe of the scale you end up being it can affect you heavily or minor cognitive development motor skills etc can or usually will be affected each varies from person to person and it also depends on the nature of the accident injury and patient. Lots and lots of rehabilitation can and does help improve one get back to as normal of a life style as possible or even alterations are made to help improve the quality of life for one. On a mental health level for the trauma and emotional side.. its helpful talking to people who have experienced the same or similar circumstances as you.. talking to someone who understands how it can affect you mentally is a huge weight that can be lifted of both your shoulders and help you to cope better emotionally and physically as well.. and encourage you to strive further. So there are many aspects of ones life that is affected when it comes to a traumatic brain injury simply because its not something you get over, just overnight these things take alot time 😊😊 this is coming from someone who suffers from a brain injury called Neurofibromatoisis NF 1 and NF2 which is where multple delays in motor development cognitive physical and social emotional development brain tumors etc which in worse case scenarios if not detected can be life threatening Luckily for me I ended up at the minor end of the scale but with the multple relapse over the years i was left with a permanent brain injury ABI which was where i then had to get rehabilitated for.. counselling etc overtime i got better and like I said earlier it did affect me physically and emotionally.. but it didnt stop me from doing the stuff i wanted to do.. one of them being to finish high school be able to work and be as independent as possible. People who have experienced wether its brain trauma cancer or any kinda trials that have been life threatening in these walks of life are the most powerful beautiful inspiring and brave people of all. Because they have been at life's low point and still continue to fight smile and push through and still appreciate even the smallest things cause that's what it's all about.
I was one of the lucky ones aswell, 6 percent of my left brain knocked out, a week in a coma, doctors said I was supposed to be a vegetable my whole life, and was determined to walk and talk and LIVE again, almost 13 years later I'm still determined
plumpkitters you're such a miracle, I have my times where depression sets in from time to time thinking I'm dumb, which I know I'm not, and that is so nice of you to invite her to cotton candy and video games, that was so mean of the horrible father. I'm so glad we talked, I have my own page on here as Michael Leavell with music, standup comedy, and exercising
Just today me and my hubby were within a second maybe less than that of getting t boned on the highway. I keep thanking God we are ok. I'm still shaking. My hubby was in a coma from a traumatic brain injury for almost a month after being attacked with a hammer to his head and his face by some guy that was hiding in an apt building he went into to do a plumbing job. Doc figured he'd been hit at least 15 times in the back of the head and sides of his face. They said he'd need rehab for 6 months to regain proper funtion but amazingly he walked out on his own(against doctors wishes, he's super stubborn sometimes) about 2 weeks after he woke up. That was in Oct 16 2009. He's come a long way. His recovery is a miracle to me. He know suffers from from some bad anxiety but besides that he's doing good, Thank God.
Anne Summers, your story is so heartbreaking. To survive such a horrible accident only to be attacked by a nutjob. My heart goes out to you & your hisband. I hope he continues to recover his health. You mentioned he now has anxiety..just love him, support him, ( could be, understandably ptsd).. my prayers for you both. Xx from Canada.
It suprised me, most of the people like this...when they had severe brain injury will stay "mentally ill (dissabled ) for the rest of their lives ...and he survived, he learned how to talk and walk and everything....its truly a miracle. Anybody knows ho is he doing know, what his life going ..its a loong time :)
I also have a TBI. It has been two years since the accident. I was in a motorcycle accident, I wrecked at approximately fifty miles per hour. I slide about 150 - 170 feet before I stopped. I was told most of the sliding was on my head. Yes I had a helmet, it was busted in the wreck. I’m blessed that I didn’t end up in any worse condition than I did.
My dad sustained a fall, he was on plavix. He started bleeding from nose was taken to the hospital. He had 2 subdural hematoma evacuation surgeries. It’s been almost a month he’s in comatose state. He has very little withdraw from pain. He’s not opening his eyes. We are praying alot for him to recover. He does have other health issues, he was on dialysis for last 4 years. 😔😔
Thank you for sharing your story, this has gave me so much hope. I’ll always have faith in god that things will be back to normal soon for me and my husband. We we’re in a terrible car accident where another vehicle hit us head on.. in a matter of seconds I remember seeing my husband’s head hit the windshield.. seatbelt was not buckled (don’t forget your seatbelts), the air bag didn’t come out for him. He bled uncontrollably and was in a coma as soon as he arrived to the hospital and in critical condition. He was then diagnosed with TBI, I just want to show him that he’s not alone in this difficult situation and that I’m going to always be there to support him throughout his whole recovery process. With anyone suffering from a TBI Never give up on yourself and consider nothing impossible.
I was also one of the lucky ones. My accident that I suffered a TBI in happened 30 yrs ago. I went on to graduate high school that same year and became a Medícal Assistant. I am very thankful for the great Drs and Nurses!
Watching videos like this remind me of how lucky I am. I survived a TBI from a home invasion 12 years ago. I was there for six hours. After surgery, I was only in ICU for 4 days. Remembered everything down to driving a manual. As selfish as it sounds, thank you for the reminder of my luck.
yay Adam! Having a tbi is a terrible thing, beyond terrible, but if you put the work in and surround yourself by great people, you can definitely make a full recovery, at least do everything you used to
I’m one of lucky ones as well. Was in serious car accident in 2012, a week in induced coma came round had a trach in my throat so couldn’t talk, couldn’t walk as my balance had completely gone. Pretty much as soon as I came round I wanted to start physio and was told I would the following week. Thankfully the physio that I was due to have pushed to get me started the next day. He asked if I wanted to have first session that day well the answer was obvious. I was able to walk on a walking frame straight away so from then was happy to get about more. It was the physio who then worked on getting me walking normally again. I didn’t get chance to be impatient about that 🤣. Only took 3 to 4 weeks which I had expected it to be longer.
I had a TBI too. It is good to see others who are doing good. I graduated high school, and went on to receive my Medical Assistant Degree. I unfortunately have had to quit working and go on disability, since my short term memory problems are to severe.
wow! survivors of TBI are ALL so Amazing! the will power that a person can have, the sheer will to live- is so powerful! i can only pray that God forbid i ever suffered such a devastaing injury that i would be so full of hope as these people!
I'm so glad he was able to turn from a car into a person. Just his head didn't fully reform but I'm sure it's just a matter of time until his transformation is fully complete
It is astounding that this young man survived and thrived as much as he has because doctors were not expecting him to even live with the injuries he suffered.
Nawe babe what a beautiful surreal story of courage stay strong baby the fact you are telling your story is a true example of your bravery and courage and it will help others in your shoes ♡♡ God bless you darlin
Yea, its sucks...My name is Kyle Anderson(curently making a tbi videos), telling ppl my story, and telling them to wear a helmet, a helmet saved my life. Im so great today, but the thing is it wasnt covered by any company, had to pay out of my pocket.I have made a good recovery, but its just my walking is a lil off(is going to get better), and my arm is so tight...........
May God bless you all as you go through this battle! You got this! God is not done with you even with your broken heart and your wounds and your scars. God is not done writing your story! You can do it! May God bless you!!!🙏💕
I'm sure it varies by state, but I work for a company that provides all the necessary services including psychological, occupation, and physical therapy through inpatient and outpatient care; they accept medicaid state coverage.
Plzz tell me ,after severe brain injury. Can a patent regain his past memory back or not . My brother met an accident, was intubated and having severe brain injury. Now he is physically 100%fine but he don't have past memory, he is having memory of before 15 years ....
Nikki Monroe, so sorry you are dealing with this. Just remember that those who say terrible things..that's a refection of them..NOT you. Just read the comments on this thread for proof. Just keep focused on your life & recovery, tune out the idiots. {{{ hugs}}} from Canada.
If you live in Europe you pay your taxes and you get health care for that money. That is the right of every human being. To have good quality health care, by dint of being a good citizen of his country.
What happened to those with no good or no health insurance??? I do not dare to mentioned it publicly. Everybody should get such a therapy if he needed it no matter how much money is on his bank account.
Thank you all♥️ anything is possible, just because an injury, you can't let it injure you from living best life. I have a RU-vid page as Michael Leavell and have motivational videos I make, boxing and singing and mixing Comedy in all
It appears as though he had a very bad hematoma which would explain the the large cut on the forehead. They probably had to drain alot of blood to fix this.
my daughter 29 has no insurance got her medicaid from state -they let you lay there and atrophy till you die as the state will not pay for therapy only to warehouse them-all that matters is size of your wallet
Hey Adam, years ago I had a life changing experience to do with God(Jesus) and I wrote a letter about It, I thought I would send It to you, Its In the comments below, Good to talk to you, have a good day, Bye
